An Arkansas mother accused of taking her 6-year-old daughter from Cleveland, Ohio, was caught Sunday night at an Elbridge-area motel, state police say.

Troopers got word at 7 p.m. Sunday of the location of Lithia M. Kaviris, 32, and her daughter Serena Kaviris. An Amber Alert was issued in Ohio. Lithia Kaviris had lost custody of her daughter when she took the girl during a supervised visitation. She was allegedly on her way to Canada, troopers say.
